Quotes - The Hawkline Monster by Richard Brautigan

"Cameron was a counter. He vomited nineteen times to San Francisco. He liked to count everything that he did. This had made Greer a little nervous when he first met up with Cameron years ago, but he'd gotten used to it by now. He had to or it might have driven him crazy."

-Page 11, The Hawkline Monster

"The road was very bleak, wandering like the handwriting of a dying person over the hills."

-Page 52, The Hawkline Monster

I read this over three days, which really comprised of quick spurts. It was funny for there to be a level of suspense in a Brautigan novel. This was new for me. I would say the ending fit what little I know and have come to expect from Brautigan.
